Wendy’s Shines The Light On ‘Hamburger Horrors’ In ‘True Crime’ Podcast
By Alexa Heah, 17 Oct 2023
As Halloween approaches, Wendy’s UK is venturing into the world of podcasting with its newly launched miniseries, The Burger Files.
This unique podcast, created in collaboration with comedy writer Joel Morris, takes a lighthearted yet investigative approach to unravel the mysteries behind unusual fast-food experiences.
Hosted by comedian and self-proclaimed “burger homicide investigator” Sara Barron, the series promises to serve up gastronomic horror with a side of laughter across five intriguing episodes.
Instead of solving heinous crimes, The Burger Files explores the bizarre world of fast food mishaps and culinary capers. Each episode promises a unique and entertaining burger-related story.
In one case, listeners will hear about a cup lid masquerading as a tomato, leaving a burger enthusiast in disbelief. Another episode delves into the chilling world of malevolent burger buns, from rock-hard specimens to buns so saturated they leak questionable fluids.
In a frozen patty mystery, the third episode explores a burger so cold and icy in the middle that it could make your blood run cold. The podcast even ventures to a seaside town with a chilling history to uncover the truth behind this burger conundrum.
For those who think drive-through orders are always speedy, episode four has a high-speed drive-through burger crime that resulted in something barely recognizable as a burger.
The miniseries concludes with episode five, which uncovers an unsettling discovery. A victim opens a burger box to find a dry patty buried in a shallow grave of lettuce, devoid of sauce.
This fun and entertaining exploration of fast food mishaps and mysteries aims to serve up justice, or at least some fresh burgers, through this intriguing and humorous podcast. Listen here.
